Ice Cream Flavors & Family Trees




I'm pleased to report that the Brooklyn Museum Book Fair was a smashing success. This was partly owing to the dynamic craft activities that Sean and I had going on at our booth. Droves of children came by to make self portrait ice cream cones and draw their own family trees. These simple activities coordinated with the themes of our recent books: Ice cream flavors for, I'm Your Peanut Butter Big Brother (Knopf) and family lineage for, Who Will I Be, Lord? (Random House). Check out these awesome kids making art!

What a great picture of Elan and Isaiah. The timing was perfect Elan is actually learning all about family trees in his class this week.

Edana had a great time with the ice cream cones (although you can't see it in her face). The book fair was great, we're so glad we went and your books were beautiful!!!

It was truly amazing watching both Edana and Elan work so hard at their crafts. Great to see you (& yours) at the book fair!
